Darknet-related communities on the social news site Reddit have been recently contacted by a journalist representing Vocativ, a news agency with ties to government cybersecurity, data-mining, and law enforcement technology.

Known as Subreddits, these communities include r/onions, related to sites on the Tor anonymous network, r/hackbloc, related to hacktivism and darknets*, r/darknetplan, a project to create a decentralized internet infrastructure, r/i2p, an anonymous network, and r/darknetmarkets, a site to discuss and review darknet commercial services.
